Don’t eat anything you can’t tie to a fence post.

It’s the first instance of finding antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food, says Western College of Veterinary Medicine assistant professor Joe Rubin
That is not accurate, as anyone who has been paying attention to this knows. They have been finding antibiotic-resistant bacteria in poultry and pork as I’ve noted in Readers Tips recently.

Yeah Howard Hughes was not as crazy as advertised.
We make fun of germaphobes but it can be a winning strategy….the tricky part is maintaining a balance of having an immunity and avoiding infection…..thar’s the rub.
I avoid touching people…..don’t know where they have been…….if they washed their hands. I haven’t had a flu shot or the flu for well over a decade If I blunder and shake hands, I haul out my hand sanitizer and share…..reception to that is mixed…I consider it as an IQ test.
If the other guy refuses the gel, I assume his hygene is substandard.

My experience is similar. Hand sanitizer and frequent hand washing while maintaining a healthy immune system is my solution to avoiding the problem; I don’t get sick and I don’t get flu shots.

Antibiotics that are restricted by doctor prescription to Canadians/Americans are over-the-counter purchases in many of the 3rd world countries from which our government seems to prefer our new immigrants to arrive from.
In light of that fact, all of this antibiotic-resistance hoopla is nothing but a charade.

80% of the antibiotics produced are used in the industrial meat business.
THAT’s where the antibiotic resistance is coming from. The manure pits from pig and poultry factories are laced with antibiotics and are brewing the next generation of plagues. There are clusters of MRSA around every industrial meat operation.
Educate yourself, or not… the choice is yours. The stupid will cull themselves with they eat. Problem solved.

Agreed…one of those ‘settled science’ articles.

I don’t understand what good it is expected to do but I am sure a squid can be tied to a fencepost.

Yes, the main problem is with meat production.
Ah, north, influenza is spread by little water droplets in air. All sorts of nasty things are spread by skin contact,
but flu is spread by air. Flu and smallpox.

Influenza can be spread in three main ways: by direct transmission; the airborne route and through hand-to-eye, hand-to-nose, or hand-to-mouth transmission, either from contaminated surfaces or from direct personal contact such as a hand-shake.

Well, it would be pretty hard to tie a buck to a fencepost, but I’m not gonna let that stop me firing up the BBQ for some bambi-burgers in about one hour!

So? The solution is right in the article “making sure food is cooked to a proper internal temperature.” All bacteria die and all proteins and enzymes are destroyed at about 160F. Chicken and turkey are full of salmonella bacteria but it’s only when you don’t cook it thoroughly that you get sick from eating it. It’s why the person who likes their steak bloody will contract E. Coli but those like me who like it well done won’t.
Wash and drain your veggies thoroughly, prepare your salad and any raw foods first before you use the cutting board for the meat, cook meat thoroughly and clean your cutting board with vinegar and let it dry before the next use and you’ll be fine.

Speaking of stupid, the point I was making, which you missed, is that the world today is a global village and restricting Canadians/Americans with doctor prescriptions while the teeming billions in 3rd world nations have over-the-counter purchase of these antibiotics mean they will be developing the antibiotic-resistance whether they’re vegetarians or eat bush meat they caught with their own grubby hands.
Bitching about the possibility of it or stopping the eating of antibiotic injected meat over here notwithstanding, resistance is going to happen, whatever we do here is irrelevant.

I wash my dishes by hand once or twice a day, bathe 5 or six times a week, and wash my hands only after gardening or a particularly messy defecation. I never wash my vegetables and wash my wooden cutting board only when it crosses my mind. I haven’t had the flu in 5 years, when I do it is the 24 hour variety, nor do I get shots.
Gee I have no idea how I got to be three score plus two and as healthy as an ox.
By the way, if you shook my hand and pulled out the sanitizer, you’d be flat on your back, asshole.
Who the f*ck do you think you are?

Yup, that says it best… I couldn’t agree more.

“when I do it is the 24 hour variety”
That’d be mild food poisoning. Might be avoidable with better hygiene, don’t eat the food with feathers and tentacles growing on it.
Might kill you one day.

I cook and eat chicken all the time. Yum. I’ve had the occasional case of FP and know the difference, plus I knew what I ate the day before. Over the years I’ve had it four or five times from MacDonald’s and once from Montana’s. Definitely the 24 hour flu. Too much hygiene can lead to a weak immune system.
But thanks for your concern.

Al, As long as a steak is grilled to an OUTSIDE temperature of 160F there are no problems.
Bacteria is found on the OUTSIDE of the steak, not the interior. Steaks cooked rare are not a risk at all.

It’s not the cooked food that poses the major problem. Most people have poor kitchen hygiene and frequently transfer harmful bacteria to other surfaces in the kitchen which then contaminate the cooked food and raw food. The counterproductive practice of washing chicken is a common example of this.

Yeah … I’ll be sure to change my dietary plan EVERY time I read some crap in a newspaper.

None of this ‘news’ is especially new. The information has been out there for years, stupid people just choose to ignore it because they want cheap meat at any cost.

Talk is cheap
Funny thing about the hand sanitizer thing….I react badly to false moves…..don’t draw on a stranger….they may be stranger than you anticipated….

Anyone who uses hand sanitizer immediately after shaking hands is being germophobically paranoid and likely to be treated strangely. Simply avoid touching your face until you get a chance to wash or disinfect your hands. It’s common sense not rocket science.
